#greenveg - Here is a simple, yet delicious methi leaves stir fry with split moong dal. I cooked it with a tempering of panch phoron in mustard oil. I also added some vadi / dried lentil dumplings to add a crunch to the dish.
I finished it off with kasundi for a mustardy taste and flavour. It is prepared dry to enjoy either with plain steamed rice or with chapatis.
